Distinguish between nociceptors and mechanoreceptors. How do they differ in terms of transduction?
a) Nociceptors detect pain, while mechanoreceptors detect pressure.
b) Nociceptors convert mechanical stimuli into electrical signals, while mechanoreceptors respond to tissue damage.
c) Nociceptors transduce noxious stimuli into electrical signals, while mechanoreceptors convert mechanical stimuli into electrical signals.
d) Nociceptors transmit signals faster than mechanoreceptors.
